Episode 33: Survivor Stories – Matt Pruett
The Gods of Woodstock smile down upon us for this serendipitous interview. Following our successful live show in Atlanta, we were fortunate to discover that one of the venue’s long time employees attended Woodstock 99! Matt Pruett can be considered one of the purest examples of a Woodstock Survivor. He jumped in a car with his best friends, drove 12 hours from Georgia and proceeded to bang his head to the likes of Korn and Rage Against the Machine. Matt opens up about his perspective of the chaos while in an altered state of consciousness. What follows is a hilarious tale of Woodstock from a truly unique character.

Episode 31: The Worst of the Worst – Day 3 part 3
Fair warning folks, we are covering the roughest two sets of the entire festival on this episode. We have been hard on bands before that might not have necessarily deserved it but in this episode all the blows are well deserved. We have Everlast repping white folks a little too hard, a doomsday cult that was featured on the Ice Age soundtrack, and the iconic Elvis Costello, who at the time was riding Austin Powers 2 fame. Be glad that we watched these so you didn’t have to.

We have made it to the final day of the Woodstock 99 music festival. What will prove to be the roughest day of the festival actually begins on a very mellow note. Willie Nelson takes the East Stage and brings some much needed 69 vibes to the masses. Don’t get too comfortable though, it’s about to majorly pop off.
